Hi Meg. Greetings, and I'd like to add my welcome to Ed's. I'm so glad you're passionate about depth psychology, and I think you'll discover lots to learn here on the Alliance.
I hope as you explore the community here a bit you are finding a dynamic group of likeminded people who are all deeply drawn by the field of depth psychology. As you likely know by now, while there are many Jungian analysts and clinical psychologists here, our members come from many walks of life--artists, writers, doctors, healing professionals, counselors, students, business people, etc--so there is much cross-disciplinary knowledge and experience here to be shared.
On that note, there are many opportunities to engage as you browse the site. Some ideas for getting started are to post a topic for discussion in the Forum, to respond to someone else's post, or to share a link to an article or web site you like. You can also post a few paragraphs of your own blog (if you have one) in the Blogs section and put a link so people can go to your site and read the rest.
In case you need detailed help getting started and navigating the site, you can use the following link-- http://www.depthpsychologyalliance.com/page/navigating-the-site--and please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions at all! I look forward to seeing you around the community~Bonnie Bright, Founder
Welcome Meg,
Interesting that we accept the portal of soma for all other types of knowledge yet disregard the wisdom present contained in the body. Possible connection between that and the way we disregard the value of the physical world we populate. Glad you have joined the Alliance and hope you find much to your interests among the many blogs, forums, groups, and book studies. I look forward to your posts.
Ed
